“Cal Newport’s Digital Minimalism is the best book I’ve read in
some time about our fraught relationship with technology... If
you’re looking for a blueprint to guide you as you liberate
yourself from the shackles of email, social networks, smartphones,
and screens, let this book be your guide." —Adam Alter, author of
Irresistible
“I challenge you not to devour this wonderful book in one sitting.
I certainly did, and I started applying Cal’s ideas to my own life
immediately.” —Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism
“You’re not the user, you’re the product. Hang up, log off, and
tune in to a different way to be in the world. Bravo, Cal. Smart
advice for good people.” —Seth Godin, author of This is
Marketing
“This book is an urgent call to action for anyone serious about
being in command of their own life.” –Ryan Holiday, author
of The Obstacle is the Way
“Cal Newport has discovered a cure for the techno-exhaustion that
plagues our always-on, digitally caffeinated culture.” —Joshua
Fields Millburn, The Minimalists
“I hope that everyone who owns a mobile phone and has been
wondering where their time goes gets a chance to absorb the ideas
in this book. It’s amazing how the same strategy can work for both
financial success and mental well-being: Put more energy into what
makes you happy, and ruthlessly strip away the things that don’t.”
—Peter Adeney, aka Mr. Money Mustache
“Cal’s call for meaningful and engaged interactions is just what
the world needs right now.” —Daniel Levitin, author of The
Organized Mind
"What a timely and useful book! It's neither hysterical nor
complacent - a workable guide to being thoughtful about digital
media. It's already made me rethink some of my media use in a
considered way. " —Naomi Alderman, New York
Times bestselling author of The Power
“Digital Minimalism is a welcome invitation to reconsider how we
want to use our screens rather than letting the screens (and the
billionaires behind them) make the call.” –KJ Dell'Antonia, author
of How to be a Happier Parent
"Simple, insightful, and actionable, this philosophy provides a
sorely needed framework for thriving in the digital age. It will
transform many lives for the better, including my own." —Ryder
Carroll, New York Times bestselling author of The
Bullet Journal Method
